Are Galaxy S5 users screwed if they're on Marshmallow?

[dallas8585]

I have read the stickied threads. The solution does not work for the S5

https://community.spotify.com/t5/Android/Android-Update-6-x-Marshmallow-amp-Adoptable-Storage/m-p/14...

1. delete data and cache for spotify, then uninstall.
2. go to settings --> storage --> SD card --> the three dots in the right upper corner --> migrate data No three dots to click on
3. download spotify, but do not start it yet.
4. settings --> apps --> spotify --> move from internal to sd card Not an option
5. settings --> apps --> spotify --> add permission for storage
6. fire up spotify, all your songs will end up in the SD card.

Not sure the S5 even gives the option for and SD card to be part of the new adoptable storage. I can either unmount, or format. When I format it says "portable storage".

This is ridiculous.

Samsung has not implemented adoptable storage so you will only see your SD card as portable storage unless you root your phone. Why do you even want adoptable storage? It's going to be much slower than the internal RAM and seems pretty pointless unless you have a cheap phone with just 4GB of RAM.

I don't. I want to install Spotify, or at the very least have songs download the the SD card.

RAM and internal storage are two seperate things. Most phones have 2-4 GB of RAM.

So what exactly happens when you try to follow these instructions?
